Do you...like money?
The eyeless doll made a rustling sound, and seeing that Lina and Ies in front of it remained silent, it continued:
“I can give you money, lots and lots of money. With lots and lots of Tennys, you can go out and do lots and lots of things.”
"Hey, Lina."
Seeing that the eyeless doll didn't seem to have any aggressive intentions, Ies leaned close to Lina's ear and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
“Miss Ropemaker, Tennyson is a necessity of life, but like salt, it’s best not to have too much.”
Lina shook her head, her maid dress, which cost two million dinis, swaying with her flowing figure as she prepared to leave with Ies.
"Oh well."
Ies scratched the back of his head, realizing that Lina's words made a lot of sense.
Moreover, the Balai Building is truly eerie right now, so it's best not to touch anything strange without permission.
"Wait...wait."
Just as Lina was about to ignore the Tennys scattered all over the ground and float away, the eyeless doll suddenly cried out.
Lina stamped her foot and turned to look behind her.
The eyeless doll, its short legs moving slowly step by step, approached and said again:
"Are you really not going to reconsider? This could very well be your only chance to get rich in your lifetime. Don't you want to spend a fortune and buy the Lido villa, which costs 110 million per square meter, outright?"
"We regret that we cannot meet your expectations. We are already very satisfied with our current life."
Lina politely declined and then drifted away.
In fact, Ies was slightly moved.
Inside is Fairy, a huge electricity consumer. With just a flick of her wrist, she can easily rack up five times the electricity bill. And five times the electricity bill is just the limit of her wallet, not Fairy's limit.
Outside, there are cronies and cunning acquaintances; they offer you meals and discount coupons, but you'll never have money if you don't pay your debts. It's often said that stock trading is risky; the red line can plummet to the heavens.
But since Lina had said so, Ies could only hold onto her clothes tightly, and no matter how itchy he felt inside, he could only swallow his anger.
"Wait...wait, don't you guys really want to be rich?"
The eyeless doll stubbornly walked over, tempting them.
"Spending your days indulging in pleasure and debauchery, when the teacher asks what you can do if you don't study, you'll throw away your schoolbag and run off."
"If your boss dares to make things difficult for you once you get to the company, just slap him across the face."
“If your child looks pitiful and wants to buy the doll in the shop window, you can generously take him into the store.”
"Don't you really want this kind of life?"
However, Lina had no intention of staying at all and continued to drift away.
To prevent Ies from sinking into it, she even gently placed her hand on Ies's head and softly rubbed it.
Ies, who was still lost in his fantasy, was suddenly awakened and looked up at Lina.
Lina shook her head, then smiled gently, "Miss Rope Maker, we should go. I wonder if you know the way to find Colleen and Lord Lycan?"
"Maybe..."
Eis was stunned for a moment, while Ling pulled out a chair and pushed it back, shouting, "Fairy, it's your turn to work! Make sure you spend your five times the electricity bill meaningfully!"
[Fairy: Parsing...]
Are you really going to reject me?
The eyeless doll took two steps forward, still relentlessly persisting:
“As Dopeganya, I can see a part of your memories.”
“You have three children who are not related to you by blood, and none of them are easy to deal with, among whom is Fagga Kunmutu.”
Suddenly, Lina stopped walking.
For the first time, she showed some interest in what the eyeless doll was saying.
But perhaps because her memories had been exposed, Lina's pretty face darkened considerably, and her tone became more forceful:
"You could have lied and said you were a ghost, but you truthfully said you were Dopegania. You are truly an honest child."
"But I'm curious, how could someone as frail as you have already learned to speak?"
The eyeless doll tilted its head and said, "A businessman prioritizes integrity. The guy I'm imitating was like that in life, and I can't break free from that framework."
"As for my ability to speak... I am born from a monstrous corpse, which is willing to grant me this power."
But none of that is the point...
The one-eyed doll curled the corners of its mouth and continued:
"You can't possibly not know what kind of race the vampire clan is. As the only vampire child who has been separated from his family, just how dangerous is Fagar?"
Lina's face was somber, her emotions fluctuating so much that her breathing was unsteady, but her years of professional training made her try her best to maintain her composure.
"Lord Lycaon said: I will not care, I will not ask, I will not accept. Fagar does not belong to the vampire race."
The eyeless doll felt something was off and asked in confusion, "Doesn't that mean the vampire clan treats him like a stranger? They use him without a second thought, and can capture him for human experimentation whenever they need him?"
Lina's pupils suddenly contracted, and the words of the eyeless doll arrived as expected:
"And you've noticed it too, haven't you? There's an undercurrent surging deep within."
"As intelligent as you are, you don't still think that car accident was a chain reaction caused by some client, do you?"
"No, no, no, there are vampires in TOPS Financial Alliance too, you know that very well."
"For years, pure-blooded vampires have been annoyed by the threat of daylight, while half-blooded vampires have been troubled by the continuation of their power."
"You know all this, don't you!"
The last sentence was almost shouted out by the eyeless doll.
The resounding sound, like a booming bell, stirred the melancholy in Lina's heart.
Seeing Lina's expression, Ies looked up and murmured, "Lina..."
Corina didn't answer. The woman who had been so witty and persuading Ies not to care about money was now secretly gritting her teeth, hesitatingly asking, "So you mean...?"
